standards action - november 22, 2002 - page 13 of 21 pages American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance The ANSI Procedures for the Development and Coordination of American National Standards (ANSI Procedures) provide two options for the maintenance of American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (see clause 4.4.1) and continuous maintenance (see clause 4.4.2). Continuous maintenance is defined as follows: The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standards developer. A documented program for periodic publication of revisions shall be established by the standards developer. Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with these procedures. The published standard shall include a clear statement of the intent to consider requests for change and information on the submittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established for timely, documented consensus action on each request for change and no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revision process. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken in accordance with 4.4.1 and 4.4.3. The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that for standards maintained under the Continuous Maintenance option, separate PINS announcements are not required. The following ANSI Accredited Standards Developers have formally registered standards under the Continuous Maintenance option. AAMVA AGRSS ASC B109 (AGA) ASHRAE ASME ASTM NBBPVI NSF International TIA Underwriters Laboratories Inc. To obtain additional information with regard to these standards, such as contact information at the ANSI accredited standards developer, please visit ANSI Online at www.ansi.org, select STANDARDS INFO, and choose "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance". This information is also available directly at http://web.ansi.org/public/ans_main/default.htm. Alternatively, you may contact the Procedures & Standards Administration Department (PSA) at psa@ansi.org or via fax at 212-840-2298.
